Hi,

I have NFS on Netapp Filer that is Local (network or private) NFS on Cisco
SWITCH .I had on EMC previously, But to bring down the cost this was a
better solution .You can share binaries too.

Hope it helps to explain.

But if you have GB as network both for storage and Applications that's fine
but what is your Back bone that is running network on it also should be 1GB
else you will not see the benefit.

Hi there,

I have a related question: what is the benefit to using two interfaces? Why
not just use the gigabit card, for all TSM traffic? Is it better to keep the
high-speed backups on the giga bit interface and keep the scheduler traffic
on its own? It seems like a lot of extra work and confusion.

Consequently, I have a very similar setup, and I'm always interested in ways
to make the backups run faster.

Thanks Miles

Hi there,

I guess you already got the right answer from Rene. Just add another entry
to dsm.sys with tcpserveraddress pointing to the ip address of the GB card.
The scheduler will be started with the default entry and handle connections
through the 10/100MBit network while you will need to start your backup
client either with the option "-se=gbit_address" or with using an
alternative dsm.opt file employing the "-optfile=dsm_gbit_address.opt"
option. Also, do not forget to define or modify your schedules
appropriately by setting the option field for the relevant schedules to one
of the above.
